Join us for the 2019 Marvin R. Dunn Keynote Address
Rediscovering
Meaning in Medicine
A FIRESIDE CHAT WITH
Vivek H. Murthy, MD, MBA
19th Surgeon General of the United States
and
Thomas J. Nasca, MD, MACP
President and Chief Executive Officer, ACGME
Saturday 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy (@vivek_murthy) served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United
States from 2014-2017. As Surgeon General, Dr. Murthy commanded the US Public Health Service
Commissioned Corps, a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers serving vulnerable populations
in 800 locations domestically and abroad. During his tenure, he helped address critical public health
issues, including the Ebola outbreak, the Zika virus, low rates of physical activity, and the explosion in
e-cigarette use among youth. In 2016, he launched the TurnTheTideRx campaign to combat the opioid
epidemic. Dr. Murthy also issued the first Surgeon General’s report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health to
mobilize the nation to address its addiction crisis, and the first report on e-cigarettes and youth.
Dr. Murthy has called emotional well-being one of the most important and most underappreciated
drivers of health. In particular, he has drawn attention to the profound impact that loneliness and social
disconnection have on health, productivity, and education.
Dr. Murthy received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and his MD and MBA degrees from
Yale University. He completed his residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical
School, where he later joined the faculty as an internal medicine physician and instructor. As a
clinician-educator, Dr. Murthy has cared for thousands of patients and trained hundreds of residents
and medical students.
In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Murthy has dedicated himself to improving health through the lens
of service, research, and entrepreneurship. He co-founded VISIONS, an HIV/AIDS education program
in India and the US, and the Swasthya project (“health and wellbeing” in Sanskrit), a community
health partnership in rural India that trained women to be health providers and educators. As a
research scientist, Dr. Murthy conducted laboratory research on vaccine development and studied the
participation of women and minorities in clinical trials. He also co-founded TrialNetworks, a software
technology company that accelerates collaboration in clinical trials.

BR02: Program Coordinators as Adaptive Leaders
— Artina Dawkins, PhD, MPA, C-TAGME
Although both the program director and program coordinator provide administrative and educational
direction for all residents and fellows during their tenure in the program, few empirical articles have been
written containing specifications about the vital role of the program coordinator (Cottrell et. al., 2010; Grant,
2008; Norwood et. al., 2006), and few articles provide insight into the integral role that coordinators have
as members of the administrative team (Woll et. al., 2015). The program director is held accountable for
the GME program by the ACGME and the institution’s GME office; however, the program coordinator is
often the sole member of the administrative team whose efforts are 100 percent dedicated to the operation
of the program (Otterstad, 2003). In the coordinator’s day-to-day management of the program, he or
she will interface with many internal stakeholders (medical students, local GME office, etc.) and external
stakeholders (ACGME, NRMP, governing bodies, etc.). Therefore, coordinators are in a pivotal position to
ensure that any required changes are addressed on a programmatic, departmental, and institutional level.
Much of the administrative responsibilities of the program are delegated to the coordinator, and nearly
every facet of the coordinator’s role interfaces with the program director (Collins, 2005). The scope of
the program coordinator role has expanded significantly over the past 20 years, indirectly based on the
changing needs of the public and directly due to the implementation of the ACGME’s Outcome Project
(Stuckelman et. al., 2017). Therefore, the necessary level of skills, knowledge, accountability, and expertise
of the coordinator has evolved in concert with the program director. This session will focus on the shift in
the role of program coordinator from a clerical, to a managerial, to a leadership role, using the theoretical
orientation of adaptive leadership. Adaptive leadership deals with four main skills that leaders cultivate
to cope with a changing environment: cultural competency; managing knowledge; creating synergy; and
adaptive vision (Glover, Friedman, et. al., 2002). This session will also examine how organizational changes
have propelled program coordinators into a leadership role.
Target Audience: All Coordinators
BR03: Put your Oxygen Mask on First
— Jennifer Ianni, MHA; Frances Clark, C-TAGME
Have you ever wished someone was there to guide you through leadership possibilities and identify
mentoring opportunities within your area? Presenters will walk participants through establishing a mentor
group and how to identify professional growth within the organization by teaching them how to identify
opportunities, listen to colleagues, and develop habits to further their individual growth. Listening is an
essential tool for developing leaders and understanding how to increase buy-in within an organization.
Presenters will teach participants a quick tool for actually hearing colleagues’ input and giving feedback
on continual process improvements for listening techniques. Additionally, they will teach participants how
to increase the chances of buy-in from the program director and how to establish their role within the
leadership team. These tools will not only earn coordinators a spot at the table, but will grow their support
network within their area.

BR04: Finding a Shoe that Fits: Best Practices for Interview Season
— Abbe Lynch, MA; Linda Woltz, C-TAGME; My-Phuong Jawort
The importance of interview season for any program cannot be overstated. As a key partner in the recruiting
process, program coordinators have a unique opportunity to utilize their organizational and communication
skills to facilitate an interview day that will allow both the program and its applicants a platform to determine
“fit.” Developing a process from applicant screening to final ranking meeting that meets unique program
needs and resources is one that should result in efficient and informative interview days for both the
applicant and the program. During this session, program coordinators from the University of Washington
will share best practices and tools that have been utilized in a variety of programs, large and small, during
interview season. There will be an opportunity for critical discussion and information sharing around
processes for applicant screening and communication; various structures of interview days; preparing
faculty and staff; and preparation for the ranking meeting.
Target Audience: All Coordinators
BR05: Using Coordinator Engagement to Connect to the GME Community and Enhance Well-Being
— Rhea Fortune; Jessica Burkhart
Having a healthy, resilient, professionally developed, and engaged program coordinator contributes to the
health, wellness, and resilience of a program, its residents or fellows, and the learning environment. The
presenters have been working hard to build their program coordinator networks to foster collaboration
and support of one another, and increase program coordinator well-being. As the position of the program
coordinator has evolved, the impact that he/she has on the learning environment has also grown. The
presenters have been working over the past three years to empower program coordinators by increasing
their engagement with each other and cultivating their connection to the larger GME community and the
demands facing residents and fellows. A 2017 pilot included having program coordinators shadow a
resident or fellow in order to gain a better understanding of their experience and therefore how program
coordinators can better support them. Over the past year, several program coordinators have participated
in this program. In this session, presenters will share the lessons learned in this experience by both the
program coordinators and the residents/fellows they shadowed. They will share some of the challenges they
have faced in engaging coordinators, and strategies to combat program coordinator burnout. They will share
the impacts of new coordinator programs and opportunities on engagement, empathy, and job satisfaction.
Target Audience: All Coordinators
BR06: Carpe Diem for Career Professional Development Opportunities for Program Coordinators
— Jessica Green; Liz Fawthrop, PMP; Alex Stoller, MPA
The ACGME’s accreditation model presents a variety of new challenges to program operations and
reporting. In the Next Accreditation System era of 10-year accreditation cycles and increased annual
reporting, methods of tracking, monitoring, and follow-up are instrumental to program accreditation. The
program coordinator role has evolved to meet the demands for accreditation. This evolution demands
increased education and professional development opportunities to gain the advanced skills necessary
for program coordination. This session features a panel of program coordinators who will present multiple
pathways to pursue professional development opportunities and how these affected their careers.
Participants will be encouraged to ask questions about the panelists’ experiences and how they influenced
their role as a program coordinator.

BR07: Annual Program Evaluations to Self-Studies – Putting the Accreditation Puzzle Pieces
Together
— Ann Dohn, MA; Nancy Piro, PhD
While most programs have experience with Annual Program Evaluations, many have yet to encounter
the “Self-Study experience.” This session will take the required data sets from both the Annual Program
Evaluation and the Self-Study and merge them into a five-year “look back” and five-year “look forward”
instrument. This 10-year analytic instrument aligns processes that integrate diverse data sources that meet
specific Annual Program Evaluation and Self-Study requirements. This session will also focus on leveraging
the data sets obtained for Self-Study reuse. Additionally, the speakers will describe how to easily obtain
and track the defined data sets. A tool to track action plan items that identifies dropped or unresolved
items will be described. These instruments in combination enable the painless completion of the Self-Study
documents.
Target Audience: All Coordinators
BR08: Preparing your Institution for a CLER Visit: Best Practices
— David Kountz, MD, MBA; Danette Meyer
Preparing the Sponsoring Institution for a CLER site visit can be an anxiety-provoking experience. One
minute you are wondering when the visit will be scheduled; the next you are confirming the availability of your
DIO and CEO and have only a few weeks to make sure all key stakeholders are on board. Fear not! This
session will review strategies and best practices for the DIO, GME institutional coordinator, and program
coordinators to employ to ensure a smooth and coordinated CLER site visit.
Target Audience: GME/Institutional Coordinators
BR09: Have No Fear, We Will Make Sense of the Academic Year!
— Susan Coull, MBA; Lioudmila Cruz
This session will focus on a year in the life of a coordinator, breaking down the academic year month by
month, and focusing on the primary activities required for each time period. It will include timelines and
responsibilities of: (1) national deadlines (ACGME, NRMP, ERAS, FREIDA, board certification, etc.); (2)
residency/fellowship program management (CCC, PEC, recruitment, on-boarding, graduation, etc.); and
(3) regular reminders (verifications, call room oversight, evaluations, expenses, meal allowance, compliance,
etc.). New coordinators often find themselves overwhelmed with new terminology and the alphabet soup
of GME, accountable to multiple layers of leadership, with competing priorities presented on a daily basis,
and the various internal and external systems to navigate. This session will present the specific breakdown
of the academic year’s activities, how a coordinator can prioritize his/her workload and remain focused on
achieving his/her critical responsibilities, and provides a tool that can be used on a daily basis to stay on
track. There will be ample time for questions and discussion throughout this presentation.
